What is recorded here

Lios an Uisce is a broken earthen ring in Cork pasture, holding a hidden passage and facing the northwest. The fort has lost much of its shape, but the hole in the bank and the tilted ground still point to the place where water, shadow and memory enter.

In pasture on level ground below crest of ridge; good view to NW. Roughly circular area (32m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by overgrown earthen bank (H 1.5m); fosse WNW->NNW (D 0.3m). Bank broken to WSW; disturbed to N, probable site of entrance; dry-stone walling along line to SW. Interior slopes gently to NW; probable Man-made underground passage (CO054-130---) just within entrance. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
